• The Fiscal Cliff
    I feel that most Americans are tired of politicians not working together. I am particularly tired of the wealthy not having to pay their share. If there are cuts, the wealthy have to give up equally. I will be retired soon. Congress needs to worry about the people in our country and not re-election.

  • Legalize Medical Marijuana
    I have MS and I have not found anything that helps me to relax and forget the constant discomfort and pain as much as Marijuana. It is the only thing that allows me to get a restful night sleep. But putting my views aside it has been proven that it helps many people with Cancer, Authorities,Etc.and many states have already seen the benefits. Let catch up with the rest of the country and stop letting our friends and relatives suffer needlessly.

  • Pass S.2010 to repeal unfair reduction of Social Security benefits for teachers, police officers,...
    S.2010, the Social Security Fairness Act, will repeal the Government Pension Offset and Windfall Elimination Provision (GPO/WEP). The GPO/WEP unfairly reduces the retirement benefits earned by public employees such as police officers, teachers, and firefighters. Public employees, like myself, are now suffering from lower benefits because of the unfair GPO/WEP provision.

  • Mr. John Boehner Listen to the majority and not the 2%.
    It is time to work with the president regarding the taxes for the wealthy. They can certainly afford to pay their fair share. The president is not raising their taxes but ending Bush's Tax Cuts for the wealthy. It is high time that is stopped.

  • Televise Senate Dem Caucus Debate on Filibuster
    The filibuster has been abused and that abuse has paralyzed our government. When the American people worked hard to overcome right-wing SuperPAC money and elected a Democratic Senate, it expected action. There can be no hiding behind closed doors. We want to see who votes to change or eliminate the filibuster and who does not.

  • Defeat Mitch McConnell in 2014
    It's time to rid the Senate of someone worked the last 4 years to "make Obama a one time president." He has obviously failed. We need Senators who represent the needs of their constituents and are working for the benefit of all of us, not their own personal agendas.

  • Social Security Reform
    As a CPA I am amazed at how few people know that social security tax applies only to the first $110,000 of earned income. Even though this "cap" will rise in 2013 to a little over $113,000, people don't realize that higher income earners are only taxed on this amount and that any amount they earn over the cap does not have to pay social security tax. Removing the "cap" and taxing all levels of earned income would go a long way to mitigating any shortages in the social security trust fund in the future.
